Dave & Buster’s

What a nightmare! went there with my son and a friend service was terrible! they forgot our appetizers and they couldn’t care less just came out with our entrees and never apologized. I will not be going back!

Everybody knows what you’re getting when you come here but it’s still a blast! The food was better than I expected, I thought the purpose of this place was mostly for the gaming but the food is pretty good too. I had the short rib and cheesy Mac stack which has sliced short rib, mac & cheese and bourbonglazed onions on grilled sourdough bread. The sandwich was good but wished the Mac and cheese had a stronger cheesy flavor, along with the short rib showing through more. The onions were almost too sweet and were most of the flavor in the sandwich. It was still pretty good despite these deficiencies. The gaming was great as usual but it is pricey if you plan on being there for an hour or two. The prizes are overpriced but that doesn’t matter because you’re spending the money to have fun which makes the prizes basically a bonus

Just can’t recommend this place after our experience. Put our name on the waiting list and were told 40 – 45 minutes. An hour later we walked back to check and they had forgotten us. There was no wait now. We were seated. Waited forever for a server to greet us at the table. We ordered right away. Food came out cold after waiting. Just not a pleasant experience.

This place was great! I was very impressed with waitress she was very nice. She could see I wasn’t feeling the best and wrapped up my food for me when she really didn’t need too. We than went and played some of the games and it was really fun! Everything seemed to be working just fine no games were out of order. The people in that area were also very nice! All around this place was wonderful. I would and will absolutely be coming back and recommending this place to many others! (:

There’s food, drinks, and entertainment! Great hang out place for big groups!
I went to D&B for a drink and games. I had a strawberry mango snow cone, it was supposed to be rum, but I didn’t taste any alcohol at all. The calamari was fantastic though. Ordered one to shared with my friend.
Be prepared to some money for a good night. At least $ 40, $ 20 for food and drinks, $ 20 for games. The 100chips ($ 20) lasted me for a little more than an hour. I played a couple rounds shooting games: Time Crisis 5, AWESOME shooting game, the Jurassic park, star war…
At 10pm, D&B was reserved for a graduation party. It was disappointing but I was just done with my chips. So I guess it was a good thing for me to save some money and leave.
Go for the Wednesday half off games.

You’ve been to many Dive Bars, if you live in Buffalo, but have you ever been to a Dave bar? Yes it’s a chain, but what a fun chain it is!
Basically it’s a sports bar, with cavernous spaces, so big that you’ll think it’s my thingy, and it’s absolutely full from wall to wall with fun and games. The games are a little overpriced, which is why it scores 4 instead of 5. But these games are fun as f***! So if you’re a kid out there reading this, go tell your parents right now to take you to D & B because Fox on Unilocal said it’s fun as f***. Go, tell them. Now.
My fave thing is the air hockey. I’ve come here many times just for air hockey. Not so much lately, but I need to get back to that because air hockey is, again, fun as f***. It’s also not too expensive unlike a lot of the games and stuff here. Yay air hockey!
And if you want something to snack on, grab a packet of the «Buster Nuts.»
Oh wait. I just made that up. ;)

Honestly I’m scared of this place. The restaurant smelled odd and the ambiance was like a Lasertron and a failing Asian Buffet I used to attend before its closure. The food took forever and it seemed to be the place where middle aged singles go for drinks after their employment nightmares. Worth it for the games, not the dining.

For an arcade setting, this is as good as it gets. They even have bowling! A full bar and decent food. There are banquet rooms available to rent making this a unique and fun place to hold a conference.

Great burgers and laidback ambience. Service can be kind of slow for taking and delivering orders, and the noise level makes it more ideal for rowdy groups than quiet sit-​downs. Encountered some rude service on occasion.

I went to D&B for the first time with some co-​workers after a long day and it was honestly a great choice. Wednesday nights are half off cocktails and half off games, what a great deal!
After a mediocre veggie burger (I didn’t go there obviously for the food) my friends and I partook in some drinks at the bar and adult arcading. I plan on going back during the long Buffalo winter. D&B is a good indoor activity for sure.

This Dave and Buster’s is definitely smaller compared to the one in New York City. Their games are pretty typical ranging from basketball, skee-​ball, to shooting games. My friends and I only come here on Wednesday when it’s half off all games. Some of the older machines glitch which is kind of plus since you get more tickets for prizes. If you’re underaged and want to feel like you’re a gambler you can come here and play games mindlessly for hours.

Stopped in with the kids for dinner and some fun before driving home to Rochester. Downloaded a coupon from SnipSnap for double coins which the kids really loved. I give the arcade a 5.
When we finally sat for dinner it seemed like we waited a long time for service. We ordered drinks and it again took a long time for them to come. My son was so tired of waiting he got up from table and went to the bar to get quicker service.
I had balsamic grilled chicken with grilled veggies. It was not bad, but not anything special either. If I wasn’t on this healthy kick, I probably would have a different review as the bar food offerings looked good on other tables. The food gets a 4 with points for what looks like good bar food.
A pet peave here… a lot of empty tables with stacks of dirty plates and chicken bones. Can someone please come by and clear these tables? Please? The cleanliness gets a 0.

My wife and I have never been to one until this past Sunday. The Very first thing that stood out about the place is when we ordered our food. i have certain food allergy’s and apparently they have a allergy book witch made it easier for me to order safe. So I was able to order without Worry. I know most people would think that the games would have been the 1^st thing that stood out but nope. Then the server without me having to ask her spoke slow so my wife who is autistic could understand her and be able to order. I am also special needs adult. Well we waited for our food we played some games then about 20 min later our food was there for us to eat. Normally load nose bugs us but there it was not the type of load nose that bugged us and we have fun. after we both ate we played a few more games and she got to pick a stuff animal dog. The Food was as good as the service awesome this is the 1^st place i ever went were when the burger i ordered to be well done no pink they actually did it the 1^st try. What is even more great is the burger i had was still juicy on the inside. my wife enjoyed her mac and cheese.

We had a ton of fun! The bar area was pretty busy and there wasn’t enough staff to really keep up but the food was excellent. Seems our party had issues with the mixed/​specialty drinks. Pretty expensive for the quality of the drinks received. Stick to beer or wine they can’t screw that up! bLT turkey burger was delicious. Spinach dip was good too!

Came here because Bradley’s company was having a work party. I think it’s easy to break it down in good and bad…
THE GOOD:
+ The drinks (I can only really say this because we were given free drink tickets. Though, if I were actually paying I would think they are very small in size. Still, they were delicious!)
+ The games (you can’t go wrong in an arcade)
THE BAD:
— The employees (at the end of the night we went to cash out our tickets and the employees at the ticket counter were incredibly rude. There were no other customers there and I went up to cash out my tickets with 3 employees working. It took 2 min for them to realize I was there to which they said «oh you have to go to the other side, a literally 3 foot walk where that rude employee still ended up helping me. Again, when we went to purchase the winnings, I was barely acknowledged, the employee kept on with his conversation with a coworker. Didn’t even tell me my sum after purchase.)
— The prizes (Bradley and I won 289 tickets, yet spent it all on one piece of candy because everything was over 1000)
— The food (It was a buffet style meal, your typical finger food, where everything was frozen and just heated up, yet served luke-​warm. The thing that all of Brad’s co-​workers were complaining about was there were chicken wings served with Ranch dressing. THIS IS BUFFALO NY PEOPLE, WINGS ARE SERVED WITH BLUE CHEESE!!!)
All-​in-​all, I would come back because I had fun at the arcade, I probably wouldn’t eat though.

My friend had her quasi-​bachelorette party here. The plan was to grab some drinks and food and go bowling but things didn’t go as planned. So I will review the gaming and the dining experiences separately.
The group of mixed aged ladies got drinks while we waited for a table. The wait wasn’t too long and they gave us one of those light up buzzers. The group got the 5:15 appetizer tray and some burgers. The app try consists of hits such as wings, and fried shrimp. The pig in blankets and the chips were terrible. So overall not worth the 20 bucks. People seemed to really like their burgers.
The manager came around to see how we were doing and offered us a free bottle of Moet champagne for the table! How thoughtful and classy! Talk about great service!
Our server was the perfect amount of attentive but not too annoying because it was obvious we just wanted to talk. I kinda felt bad because we weren’t a large bill and we hogged the table LOL.
We wanted to go bowling. So we waited for a lane, but it turns out the whole alley was booked for a private party. BOO! So the manager gave each player x amount of tokens on our playing cards for free. I thought that was a fair resolution.
My friends and I went around and played games. They really didn’t interest me, and just reminded me of weird adolescent gambling. I thought they would have more games like dance, dance, revolution or something that would require skill but alas not really. They were OK but a total money suck.
Overall: If you have money I say come here, if not don’t come here. I had a good experience but I will not be returning because its just not my style.

I have been here many, many times with my son and his friends. It’s always been a great way to spend a few hours with a bunch of preteen and teenaged boys… grabbing a bite to eat… and playing a few games. I usually keep our «Power Card» in my purse just in case a trip to the mall turns into a need for some fun (the boy HATES shopping!). I never would have thought that I could have fun here with just another adult. I guess I was wrong.
Two of us met for a burger after work. I was actually hesitant at first stating, «but that’s a kids’ place». My friend assured me that the burgers are good… and I love a good burger, so I went. And you know what… It WAS a good burger! Huge, perfectly cooked (well done for me, but still juicy) with two slices of cheese, fresh lettuce and tomatoes, a few rings of onion and some mighty delicious pickles. It came with a pile of tasty fries.
The place was (surprisingly) very clean and the service was friendly and efficient. And the menu has lots more on it than burgers. There are salads and sandwiches and steaks and ribs and pasta choices. Also quite a few desserts, but I must warn you that I was disappointed with our choice (to share!), the «Ginormous Brownie Sundae» (Two house-​made chocolate chip pecan brownies, hot and fresh from the oven. Two scoops of hand-​dipped vanilla bean ice cream covered with three classic sauces: chocolate, caramel and raspberry with fresh strawberries. Finished with creamy whipped topping and a maraschino cherry). Not to quibble, but there were no pecans in the brownies, there was no caramel sauce covering our ice cream, I never saw a strawberry, and (yeah, I know it says «topping») the whipped topping was nothing but a squiggle of chemicals. Ewww!
Then after our meal we ventured out into the «arena of fun» (my term) to play around like a couple of kids. There are many, many choices including some retro games that a middle aged woman like me would feel comfortable with (Skee-​Ball anyone?) But the place that I had the most fun was the trivia game. I loved sitting at the huge semicircle answering questions by pushing buttons on the console in front of me while I was in a race (of sorts) with others playing at the same time. It was positively addicting! I think I won about 500 tickets… now I just need about 10,000 more to get a decent prize.

Last week me, my fiancé and my best friend went here for lunch. It was around 3pm, so it wasn’t busy inside the restaurant at all. We sat down, and our server came over quickly, took our drink orders, and came right back to take our food orders. We had been sitting at our table talking for about 35 minutes, and our food still had not come out yet. A manager comes over, and tells us that they have burnt our pasta, that’s why it was taking so long for our food. He then gave us each a game play card for the arcade with 15 on each card! I thought that was really nice of him. Once the food came out, it tasted amazing! After we went to the arcade, and had a great time! The yummy food, the way the manager headless the situation, and the arcade saved this from being a 3 star or less rating. Good job!

My boyfriend and I came here after work (9:30pm on a Tuesday) and it hit the spot perfectly. It was pretty empty so the service was prompt and we didn’t suffer from any «loudness.» The bar tender kept up with asking us if we wanted to refill our drinks. The food although a bit pricey was delicious. The drinks were cheap (although I’m from Boston and probably used to crazy expensive city prices.). The games were fun and it was an awesome way to break up our work week day.

This place brings me back. Sure, you’ll need to drop about $ 40 for about two people to enjoy yourself for a few hours. Despite the older machines and some of em glitching out from time to time… I had a lot of fun coming here and playing them with my girlfriend.
We played all sorts of mindless games for hours. It was great. We got 1900 tickets and picked up a mood calendar and a musical tie. We felt like we were 12 years old again, with a minor gambling problem. It was great. Can’t comment on the food, didn’t have any.
Wednesday nights they do half-​off games, so it’s your best bet if you want to save some cash.
